So when Allen fell to me with the fifth overall pick, I was more than thrilled—and a little shocked, to be honest. This is a trend I’ve seen among the experts this year, as the first round isn’t as heavy on quarterbacks (only four were picked). However, I’m happy to land Allen. --> Strategy: Being a Superflex league, I was looking to draft two quarterbacks in the first three rounds.

Notes: Jeanty going in the top four was a surprise—this draft occurred before his injury —and Burrow going ahead of Jackson and Maye was also notable.

Notes: Just three quarterbacks were picked in this round, so six teams (half the teams in the league) don’t have a single field general after two rounds.

The best player on the board at these positions was Achane, who I was happy to land in the third round. While many believe he could be a bust playing in what projects to be a bad Dolphins offense, I still have a high grade on him among running backs.

I know there are some concerns about his toe injury, but reports suggest it isn’t a major issue. If you listen to the Locked On Fantasy Football podcast or have read my wide receiver breakouts article , then you know I love Egbuka to thrive this season. --> Strategy: I’m going with the best-available-player strategy over the next few rounds, and for me, that was Egbuka.

The best back on the board at this point was Swift, so he was the selection. I realize there is a chance he’ll lose some work to Kyle Monangai, but I still think Swift will lead the Bears' backfield in touches.

Notes: Two of three teams that needed a second quarterback filled that spot, as Jones and Darnold were selected. Beherns took his third quarterback, Shough, one spot before Enright, who might have taken him as his second field general if he were available. Two more tight ends, Fannin and Pitts, were also drafted.

As a result, I went with a third running back in Brooks. I was really hoping Price would fall to me, but he went two picks before me (sniped!). Brooks’ stock has soared this summer, but I know there’s a great likelihood he shares the workload with Chuba Hubbard in the Panthers' backfield. Still, I’ll take him as my first reserve fantasy runner. --> Strategy: I felt great about my quarterbacks and wideouts, and the flow of the draft allowed me to wait another round on a tight end.

Kraft was the seventh tight end picked and the second by Enright, who might use him as a flex due to the tight end-premium scoring system (though he still doesn’t have a second quarterback). Two other teams, Harris and Mosher, selected their third quarterbacks in Young and Stroud, respectively. --> Notes: Price and Brooks were two of six running backs off the board in the eighth round.

I do have concerns about the veteran, as he suffered a hip injury that could keep him out of Week 1. He did look good before suffering the injury, however, as he was returning from November back surgery. Clearly I’ll need to get some tight end insurance in a future round. --> Strategy: It’s time to take a tight end, and I rolled the dice with LaPorta.

Notes: There was a huge tight end run in this round, as Likely, LaPorta, Kittle, Kelce, Kincaid and Ferguson were all selected. Now all but two teams have their starting tight end, and three teams have two tight ends (which might be why those last two teams still lack at the position).

Based on the draft flow, I ended up going with Andrews. He’ll be my LaPorta insurance, and I could also use him as a flex when needed. With Likely now in New York and the Ravens lacking experienced pass catchers, I think Andrews is a decent draft bargain at this point. --> Strategy: I was either going with a fourth running back or a second tight end in this round.

Notes: This round saw two more quarterbacks, Geno Smith and Fernando Mendoza, come off the board. They’re both the third options for Rodriguez and Christy, respectively. It was also notable that Mosher took De'Zhaun Stribling as his fourth wide receiver.

The old man was a top-20 fantasy signal-caller last season, and now he’ll be back in the offense of coach Mike McCarthy. Rodgers also has far better weapons than he did a year ago, as the Steelers added Michael Pittman Jr. and rookie Germie Bernard. --> Strategy: I have ignored my No. 3 quarterback spot long enough, so I went with Rodgers to fill that role.
